You might not know it, but you do the work of content curators every time you share a story or photo you like with friends on Facebook or Instagram, tout new bands or books online or in conversation, and prepare a list of useful resources at the end of a school paper. Continue to do these things to gain experience, but take this a step further by creating a stand-alone Web site or e-mail newsletter that covers one of your favorite topics such as baseball, indie bands, or your love of cooking.
Talk with Internet content curators about their work. Ask them for tips on breaking into the field and what types of Web resources and tools they use to do their jobs. Spend time in your school’s library talking to librarians about how they choose resources for circulation.
